Walls

My mama told me When I was younger You better speak up Don't be a number My daddy told me When it was thunder Go be the lighting Don't run for cover Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're all just looking For a place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down walls The space between us Is getting wider We need this bar to Light the fire Show me the promise Give me some dealing There's too much hurting We need some healing Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're one step closer To that place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls I remember when the world was smaller And we both felt ten feet taller Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down walls
